Flat Rock Core Income Fund Announces Distribution Increase

Flat Rock Core Income Fund (the “Fund”), an SEC-registered interval fund provides exposure to investments focused on first lien, floating rate loans, to middle market companies, announced that its Board of Directors has declared an increase in its monthly distribution to $0.133 per share, which will become effective with its April distribution. Based upon the closing price of the Fund as of Feb. 28, this distribution increases the effective distribution rate from 6.73% to 7.86%. As of year-end, the earnings yield of the Fund is 8.77%.

“Flat Rock Core Income Fund had a successful 2022, and 2023 is off to a strong start. We continue to see exciting investment opportunities while remaining highly selective in our approach. In addition, the recent higher interest rate environment has led to increased income on many of our investments. We are pleased that the current interest rate environment, coupled with the Fund’s performance, allows us to increase the distribution rate. We will continue to monitor the interest rate environment for potential future changes to our distribution rate,” said Robert Grunewald, Founder and CEO of the Fund’s advisor, Flat Rock Global.
